2023 SALDO ZINFANDEL PASTORI VINEYARD
The 2023 Pastori Vineyard Zinfandel from Alexander Valley benefited from an unusually wet winter and a mild, steady growing season, with late harvest yielding small, concentrated grapes of exceptional quality. Hand-harvested from old vines at Pastori, the fruit was fermented in stainless steel for freshness, with a portion of juice removed by saignée to intensify flavor and color. Aging in 40% new American oak barrels and malolactic fermentation further softened acidity and enhanced texture, resulting in a vibrant, balanced wine that is both immediately enjoyable and age-worthy.
